As the newest bandit in the “unrelatetd Discussion” category, I have another one:
Wise advice.
I collect wise sentences and advice from all people I know, if famous, common, alive or dead. As long as I gauge it as actually helpfull i ad it to my collection. The walls of my office are covered in paper sheets, on which all the wise advice is written on.
And I will put them down here, just so that if someone needs them they are here. And I am depressed right now, so there is that too.

That’s about it. The ones without an author are either from unknown sources or my own. You are free to steal those. I hope you got something from that. They help me everytime I am down. It’s just a matter of finding the right one in the situation. But I always find one.
I’ve you have some, you think are worth sharing, put them down here. And if you like any of the ones above, I would like to hear that too.
